CONSOLIDATED UPDATES

  • Inform 6 version 6.42 is finalized with commit e528e48.
  • Updated inform.1 manpage.
  • Updated Standard Inform Library to 6.12.7 commit a0d3e3d.
  • Updated PunyInform to version 5.4 commit ad50320.
  • Print hashes of resulting tarball from “make dist”.
  • Fixed a compile issue with Android needing -DUNIX instead of -DLINUX.

As is usual, the package is available now at https://661.org/proj/if/ and at the IF Archive soon.

I’ve been a bit out of sorts lately. Some of that has been due to the declining health and passing of a close friend of mine, Arcturiat Baumann, for whom I have dedicated this release.
